According to researchers, “infants in the study whose mothers reported eating peanuts at least twice a week during pregnancy were nearly three times more likely than other infants to have levels of peanut antibodies high enough to suggest a lurking peanut allergy.”

Interestingly, the researchers were quick to deny a direct link between the two, because the babies in the study were either suspected of having an allergy to eggs and dairy or had one confirmed, and thus were “already more likely to be… susceptible to peanut allergies.”
